Moms 100 Whole Grain Air Buns Rolls Knead Dough In The Abm Recipes

MOM'S 100% WHOLE WHEAT AIR BUNS (ROLLS) FOR ABM

Steps:

• Put water, butter, honey, salt and vinegar in the machine.
• In the bottom of a one cup measure, put 2 tablespoons of gluten, and then fill the cup with W.W. flour.
• Put that, and another 3 1/2 cups of flour on top of the liquids.
• Add yeast to surface, and programme for "dough" cycle.
• I make two 9 inch pans of rolls, each with 9 rolls per pan, and let rise until double (the rolls will fill the pans).
• Bake at 350°F (I use convection bake) for approximately 20 minutes. Rolls will be deeply golden and oh so yummy.

MOM'S AIR BUNS (ROLLS)

Steps:

• Mix the 1/2 cup warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp sugar, and allow to proof.
• Melt the lard, and mix in sugar, salt, vinegar, and warm water. When body warm, add the proofed yeast, and beat in 1 1/2 cups flour. Let rest for 15 minutes.
• Knead in approximately 3 cups more flour.
• Let dough rise till double (approximately 2 hours).
• Deflate dough, and form into buns, any size, (I make 16 large) or loaves. Rise till double (takes approximately one hour, but depends on size/shape chosen).
• Bake buns at 350°F for approximately 20 minutes.
• For ABM, in my machine, on the "dough" cycle, I use 2 teaspoons of bread machine yeast, and I reduce the water to about 1 1/2 cups, the flour to 4 cups, adding a tad more water or flour as it kneads to get a smooth,soft ball of dough. I leave the other ingredients as posted.

• Add yeast mixture to sugar-oil-water mixture.
• Mix in 8-10 cups of flour or enough to make a nice soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.
• Put dough in a well greased container and let rise in a warm place.
• Knead down once and let rise again.
• Form into small balls (about 2" diameter or so) and place on a cookie sheet.
• Let rise again until light and fluffy.

MOM'S 100% WHOLE WHEAT AIR LOAF IN ABM

Steps:

• Put 4 teaspoons of gluten in the bottom of a one cup measure. Add whole wheat flour to fill the cup, and then measure another 2 cups of just whole wheat flour.
• Add ingredients to the bread machine as per instructions for your model.
• As the machine begins to mix, adjust the water or extra flour to give a smooth ball of dough when kneaded.
• I use the whole grain option of my machine to bake my loaf.

SUPER SIMPLE AIR BUNS

Steps:

• 1. In a large metal bowl combine water (this water should be tap hot, NOT BOILED if it's too hot you'll kill the yeast, if it's too cool it won't activate), sugar, salt and Vegetable Shortening. Stir until shortening has almost completely dissolved or is in very small lumps.
• 2. Sprinkle four cups of flour across the top of the liquid mixture creating a "blanket" effect (this is important) sprinkle on yeast.
• 3. Working quickly whisk in the yeast and flour to mixture, then switch to a wooden spoon and stir in another 2 cups of flour.
• 4. From this point forward your flour amounts will vary. Due to weather, climate, altitude etc the dough will continue to accept any where from another 1 to 2 and half cups of flour.
• 5. Knead in as much flour as the dough will accept until it is no longer sticky and feels smooth on the exterior. This takes usually about 15 minutes of good kneading and you'll be surprised at how much flour the dough will take.
• 6. Wash out metal bowl with hot water and dry thoroughly (do this quickly as you want the bowl to stay warm), place dough in bowl and cover with a clean tea towl.
• 7. Let rise 1 hour.
• 8. Punch down dough and let rise another 30 minute.
• 9. Shape dough into balls (this can vary based on desired finish product bun size. eg golf ball dough will rise and bake to about a small dinner roll size. I usually make them about the size of a small clementine for larger lunch size buns) and place on a greased cookie sheet.
• 10. Pre Heat Oven to 400 degrees. Cover and let rise another 1 hour, they will have doubled in size by then.
• 11. Bake in 400 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. You'll know buns are done by their golden color.
• 12. If you'd like a super soft exterior to these buns rub with a small amount of butter or margarine immediately after removing from the oven. This isn't necessary and the buns are excellent without this step.
